Achieving realism in figurative art requires a working knowledge of anatomy.
Amelia Rowcroft shares the knowledge of anatomy she uses every day as a professional figurative artist. You will gain a sound understanding of the bones and muscles that impact the surface of the body. Each lesson focuses on a different part of the body shown clearly on diagrams, on the skeleton and on one of two life models Manko (Female) and Claudio (Male). Please note this course contains full nudity. It is suitable for all figurative artists - sculpting, painting, drawing or digital.
You will begin by gaining an understanding of the skeletal structure, referencing our female life model Manko.
The second half of the course focusses on the muscles of the body, referencing our male life model Claudio.
Each lesson includes a tutorial video, a diagram animation, notes and reference photographs.
The course focuses on what is genuinely useful to know as a figurative artist: the bones and muscles that impact the surface of the body.
Includes video and reference materials containing full nudity of professional male and female life models
Full access to the course only £199.99!

About Amelia Rowcroft and the online course 'Strong Foundations' ...
Amelia Rowcroft has been working professionally as a figurative sculptor for 20 years. She creates fine art portraits and figurative sculptures. She has also worked commercially within the film industry and for the world’s leading wax figure museums. She studied at Central St Martins, Wimbledon School of Art and the Florence Academy.
Amelia is passionate about teaching the classical techniques of portrait sculpture.
When working as a freelance sculptor she met many fellow artists who were confident in their skills to sculpt most things, but felt that they had never been taught the core techniques of attaining a likeness of a person’s face.
She knows that finding an art school that teaches these traditional skills can be difficult and costly, and that people often do not have the time and/ or money to attend regular classes or go on residential courses.
She created Sculpting Masterclass as an alternative way of training your eye and learning how to sculpt a portrait at home, at your own pace and in a way that fits around your schedule.
She has tried to make the course as close as possible to the experience of sculpting alongside her in her studio, passing on all the techniques and tips she has picked up over the years.

About me...
I have been sculpting professionally for 20 years. Through Facebook, Youtube and my blog I share sculpting tips and techniques. I also share sculpting demonstrations, especially of celebrity waxwork portraits - earning me the tongue-in-cheek moniker 'Sculptor of the Stars'.
After graduating from Wimbledon School of Art in 1998 with a degree in Technical Arts, I immediately started working as a freelance sculptor and prop maker in the film industry in and around London.
After a few years I realised that I wanted to specialise in figurative sculpture, and discovered an amazing realist art school - The Florence Academy in Italy. Through a combination of working on films between terms, winning first prize in an online realist art competition (ARC Salon Scholarship Competition), and a scholarship from the school itself, I managed to study in Italy for two years - graduating from the sculpture programme in 2004. It was an incredible experience, and I learnt so much, working entirely from life models, and studying anatomy in great depth.
After returning to London, I started working as a freelance portrait artist and figure sculptor for Madame Tussauds. This felt like an extension of my education, as I learnt how to work effectively from photographs, as opposed to life sculpting - and alongside some of the finest sculptors in the world. I worked there on and off for ten years, creating dozens of life-size figures and portraits of every kind of person you could imagine, including historical figures, for all of their museums across the world. When not working at Madame Tussauds, I continued to work on films - as well as sculpting for some of Britain’s most successful contemporary artists (realising the ideas of artists who cannot sculpt). I continue to take commissions for hyper-realistic portraits and figures for museums, working from my studio in Lewes, East Sussex.
In 2014 I was commissioned to sculpt the portraits of all four members of Abba for their own museum, in Stockholm. I travelled to Sweden to visit each of them for a sitting, which was very exciting - as I am a huge fan.
In 2016, I became one of six sculptors to be shortlisted for the new Emmeline Pankhurst public sculpture in Manchester.
